SUMMARY:April Lunch and Learn

SUMMARY:April Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 8th\, 2025 for our April Lunch and Learn. This month we will learn about the relationship between oral history and Wisconsin history. Using oral history to study stories\, experiences\, and events offers opportunities that go beyond traditional written records. This auditory research method can enable the preservation of histories and memories that might otherwise be lost\, particularly those of marginalized or underrepresented groups. This program will explore how oral histories have been used to advocate for Wisconsin history and what the future may hold for the methodology’s role in promoting historical awareness and remembrance. \nCatherine studied Public History at UW-Whitewater and completed her graduate degree from UW-Milwaukee in 2024. She was introduced to the museum field through historical interpretation at the Wade House Historic Site. Her focus in visitor engagement and public history continued at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum and as a Teaching Assistant for the UW-Milwaukee History Department. She has conducted and transcribed oral histories for the Wisconsin Farms Oral History Project\, John Michael Kohler Arts Center\, and the Gathering Places Project. Catherine currently works as the Museum Administrative Coordinator at Jewish Museum Milwaukee. \nTickets: \n\n$28 – Nonmembers with a Box Lunch of choice\n$25 – Members with a Box Lunch of Choice\n$10 – Program only\, no lunch\n\nPricing Information\nWe are using a new ticketing system if you are ordering on-line – Humanitix.

SUMMARY:February 2025 Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:This month Andrew Derzay will present – Closer to the Front: The Lives of Waukesha Women in the First World War \nOur February 11th\, 2025 Lunch and Learn will focus on Waukesha women’s societal roles before\, during\, and after WWI. Andrew Derzay will discuss how female nurses performed overseas\, the assumptions they had to overcome including general conditions of a “typical” workday and training\, and most importantly life on the Homefront working “men’s” jobs. The presentation will also focus on how women during this era gained certain rights after the war\, touching on themes of suffrage\, opposition\, and equal rights. “Closer to the Front” may be a familiar title\, as it is based on our current exhibit co-curated between Andrew and the museum’s Curator. \nAndrew completed his internship with the Waukesha County Historical Society and Museum in the fall of 2023 and continues volunteering with us. He has a Bachelor’s in World History with an emphasis in Public History and a Minor in German\, which he attained from UW- La Crosse while working as an intern at the La Crosse County Historical Society. Andrew is currently pursuing his Master’s Degree in History at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\, focusing on Public History with a certificate in Museum Studies.
